THE CABALA OF GUNS
In modern day Hebrew the word for gun is the same word for kiss – Neshek. War is called by the word Korev/Close and the instrument of war is Neshek/Kiss – opposites, one of hate and the other of love. Both the kiss and the gun have a breath that penetrates deep inside.
War brings people close; love becomes more important than money – the gun is the symbol of war. The paradigm of life and death is illuminated during war; the experience of being in a war, soldier or civilian, is fundamentally different from those watching the war from afar.
Similarly, the experience of love is very personal, whereas war is out in the world; there is the war of love that happens within the human being and the love of war that happens in the world. The Second Amendment provides for the right to arms, kissing is free, everywhere.
The Cabala explains, Milchama/War is a combination of two words: Mil/Cut and Choma/Hot; the fire of war destroys but the passion of love binds. America is a place of controlled violence that needs to chill and transform into love, as the old song declares: Its in the kiss.

The Loaded Law
Violence might be down but the opportunity and the potential is way up. America being a meld of the peoples of the earth need to conquer violence here at home before God forbid our country explodes. The point of democracy is the people should rule, not the people with the guns should rule.
The Torah predicts the day when the impliments of war will be turned into tools to produce food, a time when we will live without walls to separates us from our enemies–we all want that time to come. If we all want peace to happen then why does it not happen?
The world is like a body with a virus that has weakened the resources of the world and made her vulnerable to sickness. Having guns is a problem having them loaded a catastrophe. The Torah says Strength is he who can control himself, but it is not the strong who kill, but the weak.
Perhaps somewhere there is some cabalistic thing that can make it alright, but I have yet to find it other than Viahafta Laraiacha Chamocha/Love your Neighbor like Yourself.
